44.8% of global fertilizer production is concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region (Earth Platform, 2026).
European ammonia production is 19% below 2019 levels (Plataforma Tierra, 2026).
10%–20% is the increase in the cost of ammonia imports in the EU due to the CBAM mechanism (Earth Platform, 2026).
26.5% of the European Union's ammonia imports originate from Russia (Plataforma Tierra, 2026).

The main agricultural, biotechnological, and post-harvest strategies for reducing cadmium (Cd) concentrations in the cultivation and processing of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), one of Latin America's most representative products, are reviewed. The study, focusing on Ecuador and other countries that produce fine aroma cocoa, evaluates techniques such as microbial bioremediation, phytoremediation with...
The study analyzes advances and trends in the use of artisanal biopreparations in Latin American agriculture, made with natural ingredients and native microorganisms as an alternative to conventional agrochemicals. Through a bibliometric analysis, it identifies the leading countries in research (Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico), the main types of biopreparations, such as Bokashi, and the crops ...
The article analyzes how Colombia is leveraging its microbial biodiversity to develop biofertilizers, examining scientific advances, market trends, and regulatory challenges facing the country in its efforts to promote more sustainable and competitive agriculture.
The research analyzes ancestral practices of using natural fertilizers and biocides in Aymara agriculture in Puno, Peru. Through an ethnographic approach, it documents how peasant families use organic resources (such as plants, minerals, and human urine) to fertilize soils and control pests, thus preserving agricultural sustainability and traditional wisdom.
78% of the analyzed VSS (7 out of 9) include required criteria to minimize the impact of agrochemicals, excluding ISCC and ProTerra (Larrea et al., 2021).
